End-users can protect themselves from attack by disabling macros from running in an application or by granting permission for a document to run VBA code only if they are sure that the source of the document can be trusted. ==Version history== VBA was first launched with MS Excel 5.0 in 1993.
Microsoft suggests contacting the software vendor for 64-bit versions of VBA controls. ==See also== Visual Studio Tools for Applications Visual Studio Tools for Office Microsoft Visual Studio Microsoft FrontPage OpenOffice Basic LotusScript Microsoft Power Fx ==References== Articles with example BASIC code BASIC programming language family Macro programming languages Microsoft Office Microsoft programming languages Programming languages created in 1993
Released in 1996, it is written in C++ and became an object oriented language. VBA 5.0 was launched in 1997 along with all of MS Office 97 products.

The only exception for this was Outlook 97 which used VBScript. VBA 6.0 and VBA 6.1 were launched in 1999, notably with support for COM add-ins in Office 2000.

VBA 6.2 was released alongside Office 2000 SR-1. VBA 6.3 was released after Office XP, VBA 6.4 followed Office 2003 and VBA 6.5 was released with Office 2007. Office 2010 includes VBA 7.0.
Visual Studio .NET 2002 and 2003 SDK contained a separate scripting IDE called Visual Studio for Applications (VSA) that supported VB.NET.

However, after VBA 6.5/Office 2007, Microsoft stopped licensing VBA for other applications. Office 2013, Office 2016, and Office 2019 include VBA 7.1. JavaScript API replacement : Microsoft is moving away from VBA in favor of the JavaScript API for Office (therefore, also for Office on the web and Office for Mac).
==Development== As of July 1, 2007, Microsoft no longer offers VBA distribution licenses to new customers.
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is an implementation of Microsoft's event-driven programming language Visual Basic 6, which was declared legacy in 2008, and is an associated integrated development environment (IDE).
VBA can use, but not create, ActiveX/COM DLLs, and later versions add support for class modules. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications, including Office for Mac OS X (except version 2008), and other Microsoft applications, including Microsoft MapPoint and Microsoft Visio.
However, VSA was deprecated in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework, leaving no clear upgrade path for applications desiring Active Scripting support (although "scripts" can be created in C#, VBScript, and other .NET languages, which can be compiled and executed at run-time via libraries installed as part of the standard .NET runtime). Microsoft dropped VBA support for Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac.
Although pre-.NET Visual Basic is no longer supported or updated by Microsoft, the VBA programming language was upgraded in 2010 with the introduction of Visual Basic for Applications 7 in Microsoft Office applications.
VBA 6.2 was released alongside Office 2000 SR-1. VBA 6.3 was released after Office XP, VBA 6.4 followed Office 2003 and VBA 6.5 was released with Office 2007. Office 2010 includes VBA 7.0.
Microsoft said that it has no plan to remove VBA from the Windows version of Office. With Office 2010, Microsoft introduced VBA7, which contains a true pointer data type: LongPtr.
The 64-bit install of Office 2010 does not support common controls of MSComCtl (TabStrip, Toolbar, StatusBar, ProgressBar, TreeView, ListViews, ImageList, Slider, ImageComboBox) or MSComCt2 (Animation, UpDown, MonthView, DateTimePicker, FlatScrollBar), so legacy 32-bit code ported to 64-bit VBA code that depends on these common controls will not function.
This does not affect the 32-bit version Office 2010.
VBA was restored in Microsoft Office for Mac 2011.
However, after VBA 6.5/Office 2007, Microsoft stopped licensing VBA for other applications. Office 2013, Office 2016, and Office 2019 include VBA 7.1.

(The most dreaded language for 2018 was Visual Basic 6). Visual Basic for Applications enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs).

As of 2020, VBA has held its position as "most dreaded" language for developers for 2 years, according to some who participated in surveys undertaken by Stack Overflow.
